“Ballerina ng Bayan” Lisa Macuja continues to engage in “usapang sining at kultura para sa lahat” (art and culture discussion for all) through her award-winning program, Art 2 Art.
On November 20, the prima ballerina interviews instrumentalist, vocalist, composer, arranger, musical director and producer Roy Del Valle. A psychology graduate and former guidance counselor, he recounts how he transitioned to a full-time career in music. The two also talk about their first-time collaboration in Ballet Manila’s holiday production, Cinderella – Macuja as choreographer and Del Valle as musical director.
On November 27, painter Daniel “Dansoy” Coquilla shares his challenging journey in visual arts. From Davao, he moved to Manila to attend a comics illustration workshop, became an out-of-school youth and was taken in as a gallery assistant by artist Fred Liongoren who would inspire him to take up fine arts. Coquilla is best known today for the “top-view perspective” in his paintings where the subjects are all looking up.
Produced by the Manila Broadcasting Company and hosted by prima ballerina Lisa Macuja, Art 2 Art airs Sundays, 3:30-4 p.m., on radio via DZRH (666 khz on the AM band), on cable television via RHTV (Channel 129 on Skycable in Metro Manila, Channel 18 on Cignal TV and Channel 3 on Cablelink) and online livestreaming athttp://dzrhnewstelevision.tv.
